Chapter 1Current and Future Assisted Reproductive Technologies for Mammalian Farm Animals

Hansen, Peter J.

Pages: 1 –22

[Reproduction in domestic animals is under control by man and the technologies developed to facilitate that control have a major impact on the efficiency of food production. Reproduction is an energy-intensive process. In beef cattle, for example, over 50 % of the total feed consumption required...

Chapter 2Current and Future Reproductive Technologies for Avian Species

Ramachandran, Ramesh

Pages: 23 –31

[The global demand for poultry meat and eggs is expected to increase exponentially in the next several decades. Increasing global poultry production in the future would require significant improvements in genetics, nutrition, and managerial practices including reproduction. This chapter...
LitStream

Chapter 3Current and Future Assisted Reproductive Technologies for Fish Species

Weber, Gregory M.; Lee, Cheng-Sheng

Pages: 33 –76

[The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that in 2012 aquaculture production of fish will meet or exceed that of the capture fisheries for the first time. Thus, we have just turned the corner from a predominantly hunting gathering approach to meeting our...

Chapter 4Incorporation of Genetic Technologies Associated with Applied Reproductive Technologies to Enhance World Food Production

Cushman, Robert A.; McDaneld, Tara G.; Kuehn, Larry A.; Snelling, Warren M.; Nonneman, Dan

Pages: 77 –96

[Animal breeding and reproductive physiology have been closely related throughout the history of animal production science. Artificial insemination provides the best method of increasing the influence of sires with superior genetics to improve production traits. Multiple ovulation embryo transfer...

Chapter 5Impacts of Reproductive Technologies on Beef Production in the United States

Dahlen, Carl; Larson, Jamie; Lamb, G. Cliff

Pages: 97 –114

[Estimations of world population growth indicate that by the year 2050 we will reach nine billion habitants on earth. These estimates impose a tremendous challenge in the current agricultural systems as food supply will need to increase by 100 % in the next 40 years (Food and Agriculture...

Chapter 6Impact of Reproductive Technologies on Dairy Food Production in the Dairy Industry

Stevenson, Jeffrey S.

Pages: 115 –129

[Reproductive technologies drive the efficiency of managing dairy cows because the lactation cycle of the dairy cow depends on regular calving to renew lactation yields. Achieving timely pregnancies to allow calving every 12–14 months, therefore, is critical in modern dairy production. To meet...

Chapter 7Impact of Swine Reproductive Technologies on Pig and Global Food Production

Knox, Robert V.

Pages: 131 –160

[Reproductive technologies have dramatically changed the way pigs are raised for pork production in developed and developing countries. This has involved such areas as pigs produced/sow, more consistent pig flow to market, pig growth rate and feed efficiency, carcass yield and quality, labor...

Chapter 8Impacts of Reproductive Technologies on Beef Production in South America

Vasconcelos, José Luiz Moraes; de Sá Filho, Ocilon Gomes; Cooke, Reinaldo F.

Pages: 161 –180

[The majority of beef cow herds in South America are constituted by Bos indicus females, which have particular reproductive features that contribute to reduced reproductive efficiency compared with that of B. taurus cohorts. Hence, several alternatives to enhance reproductive efficiency of B....

Chapter 9An Australasian Perspective on the Role of Reproductive Technologies in World Food Production

Martin, Graeme B.

Pages: 181 –197

[Industries based on small ruminants are major contributors to world food supply but, in extensive grazing systems, reproductive technology is not directly relevant to most enterprises. More important is the need to respond to demand in high-profit export markets for products that are ‘clean,...

Chapter 10A Perspective on the Impact of Reproductive Technologies on Food Production in Africa

van Marle-Köster, Esté; Webb, Edward C.

Pages: 199 –211

[Africa for the largest part is still regarded as part of the developing world and has a history of political instability, natural disasters, floods and droughts that all had an effect on the development of livestock production systems and the potential application of biotechnologies. It is...
